Windows 8.1 Desktop review: Its finally safe to upgrade from Windows 7, folks

2013-06-27 18:26:13| Extremetech

Yesterday, Microsoft released the preview version of Windows 8.1. I've now been using it for almost 24 hours on my main desktop PC with two monitors (neither of them touchscreens), and I can safely say that Windows 8.1 drastically improves the experience for mouse-and-keyboard users, and users who do most of their work on the Desktop. SkyDrive integration is awesome, the Start button -- despite the lack of Start menu -- is surprisingly functional, and improved split-screening means Desktop users can now actually use Metro apps without being forced into full-screen mode.
